Paragon Technologie GmbH Files

These are the Paragon Technologie GmbH files I have gathered, thanks to the FreeFixer users.

The FreeFixer tool treats files from Paragon Technologie GmbH as safe, which means that the Paragon Technologie GmbH files will appear with a green background and that there is no removal checkbox for the file. However, as you can see in the scan results below, a few of the anti-virus scanners detects the Paragon Technologie GmbH file(s). I'm pretty sure those detections are incorrect and that the files are safe. It is unlikely that Paragon Technologie GmbH would ship a malware file.
